Footnote(s)

Footnote 1

The category 'Total - Single and multiple language responses' indicates the number of respondents who reported each language, either as their only response or in addition to one or more other languages. Total responses represent the sum of single language responses and multiple language responses received in the census.

Return to footnote 1 referrer

Footnote 2

A single language response occurs when a respondent provides one language only.

Return to footnote 2 referrer

Footnote 3

A multiple language response occurs when a respondent provides two or more languages.

Return to footnote 3 referrer

Footnote 4

This is a total population count. The sum of the languages in this table is greater than the total population count because a person may report more than one language in the census.
